Fun fact I experienced: if you get banned for anything, there is absolutely no way to delete your account. (It was a test account at a time I didn't even have a personal account yet. I uploaded very mild nudity¹ as a profile pic and had a friend flag me on purpose) ¹ http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/collections/paintings/20c/item-242744.aspx http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/collections/painti...

This is true and also illegal and against Facebook's TOS - they state regardless of any of that you can control your data. I've been complaining about FB for years and maybe its time they will start listening. Instead I write long emails that will have a guaranteed response in 24 hours and there is NEVER A RESPONSE.

Any chance you're an EU citizen? Maybe once GDPR goes into effect you can lodge a complaint.

  Existing EU law already covers this. But I used a fake name anyways, so I probably have no chance

Interesting, my account got disabled a few months ago and radio silence from them on why or what (appeals process seems a black hole). In light of recent activities I’d like them to delete all data they have on me but since I’m not an EU citizen unfortunately I don’t have the GDPR to force them to do so.

  How are they to know you're not a EU citizen. Even if you weren't, you could be now.

A few years ago my account got disabled. When I tried to sign in it'd show a message pointing me to their Help Center if I wanted more info about why my account was banned. After a few months passed, I tried to sign in again and it just didn't recognize my email address. I'd assume they "remove" disabled accounts after a few months based on my experience.

It's funny, in considering to delete my FB, I had to wonder, "will Tinder still show my picture if my FB is deleted?"
